For your viewing pleasure, here's a detailed look at a pair of remote control astromech droids.

Check out the above photos for the new versions of R2-D2 and R2-Q5. To see some of the original versions, check out the Photo Archive entries for R2-D2, clear R2-D2, and R5-X2.

Poll

George Lucas has announced he's done making blockbuster feature films after Indiana Jones 5. He states that one of the factors that weighted heavy on the decision was the negative comments made by fans. The Probe Droid is curious what you think about that.

	We didn't mean it! Please make more movies!
	Boo. I don't like that at all. More movies please.
	We got six movies that tell the full tale. I'm happy.
	Good for you George! You've earned it.
	Thank goodness!
	I don't see the irony here.
